Excalibur
Remaining tempted to crack vulgar wise
at my sixty years of sophomoric age
tempers routine existence with surprise
at wit in modicum upon a page,
stuck in adolescent irreverence
half cast in the whirlwind patina
of mortality in disseverance...
like Bosnia and Herzegovina,
or better yet, a classical decay,
like marbled Mediterranean blocks
longing for former glory in the day
when youth withstood multivariate shocks
reminisced in a Roman alphabet...
as it's the doom of men...when they forget.
